Chapter 71 Learning Magic
Sighing to himself, Enigma pulled the lower end of his pants at the ankles, up all the way to his knees and took off his shoes. Today, he was about to try out [All-Elementary Mastery], and yes, taking off his clothes was important.
"Make sure to stay back okay?" He warned lightly and flew off to a nearby hill using the Divine Art, "Float". Followed by cloaking himself with a "God-Barrier Protection" and "Elemental Resistance".
Without stopping, he used "Divine Empowerment", "Enhance" and "Sacrifice Empowerment" on both defense-type Divine Arts. He was not going crazy.
In fact, even now, he still felt the intent of death whenever he thought of casting one spell. It was as if his body was warning him not to do it, even with all the measures he put through.
"What\'s one death? I can at least come back since the first death is always free." He nodded as he raised his hand up, closed his eyes and mediated his breathing.
He thought back to three months ago, That moment, when Queen Nia first attack him. He wanted to try out that spell. There was no reason either than it being the only one he knew for now that was quite flashy.
Enigma thought about that time, as he was about to remember the chant that she used. He had already memorized it, \'Let\'s see, if I remember correctly, her chants were–—\'
"It would be better if you just used your own chant..."
But the system cut him as it gave him, an advice, of sorts. And Enigma chose to believe in it. But then again, just to be safe, he still used the chant that Nia used.
He knew no spells, and he didn\'t believe creating them was just as easy as saying a bunch of words and envisioning something to happen...
"Rage of the skies..."
BOOOM!!!
Just the first incarnation, four words, caused the clouds within a mile radius to rage and roar. The sky blackened and the only illumination was from the raging thunder ready to jump out at any moment.
And he was using the ordinary plain magic tongue to cast his spell. Not demonic magic, angelic magic or even draconian magic, or the more divine magic tongues.
The sorounding mana was attracted, which was the first step to forming the spell. Then the mana gathered above him, then ascended up to the clouds.
Argumentating itself. Enigma was using Mana to cast this spell, as the Divine version of it was too devastating. Thus, he opted to just stick with a normal version for now.
And as for Mana? To true gods, this essence was as boundless as infinite to them. As long as there was Mana within the surounding, they could gain control over it.
And that was what Enigma was doing, he gathered the mana within a mile radius, and used it to power up the spell. As he normally should.
"Hey, isn\'t that mother\'s spell?" Soquel asked the others that were sitting besides her, watching the formation of something devastating and world shaking.
"Seemd different to me." Sion said.
"Yeah, he\'s using Mana to power it up." Sear also added, as she watched the sorounding mana lessen as Enigma took complete control over it.
"Then care to explain why the spell seems greater than when mother casts it?" Soquel said as she continued to watch Enigma do the impossible.
"And did he not say that he knew no spells?" She finally added, as everyone was too quiet to give her a proper answer.
"....."
"....."
"...Don\'t look at me. I am a magician, not a encyclopedia or a wisdom stone." Sara felt the gaze of everyone and immediately defended herself without hesitation.
Of course she knew what was going on, but she could not explain it. After all, everything was normal, as Mana was absorbed within the clouds, and formed an array that would create lighting and power.
The mana was used as an exchange factor to generate the lightning, and power of the lightning storm. She knew pretty much all of that. She was a genius mage after all.
But then, something strange occurred. The lightning within the sky gathered to form a silhouette of a women. She looked down on the earth like a Genuine God, even the deities below her were nothing but insignificant ants to her.
The whole of the Green Continent, felt very small to her. As if she could snap it out of existence if she was not careful. She opened her eyes, and her impassive eyes shot down straight to the World Forest.
Straight to the person who dared to summon her. A mere Mortal, a Lower Existence to boot, they would dare, call upon her?!
But when her eyes fell on one young boy, she became flustered and vanished within an instant. Her appearance and disappearance were instant, coming and going like a ghost.
The concentrated Enigma and the shocked deities failed to catch her appearance. But even with her gone, auspicious purple energy gathered above their heads, covering an area of one mile.
"...."
Everyone dud not see that entity, everyone except Sara who was focusing on the spell itself. Or the essence of the spell. She was shocked speechless when she saw that woman.
So shocked that, she failed to say anything, or hear whatever everyone was talking.
"No matter how I look at it, we are going to die." Sou fluttered her eye lashes as she looked up at Enigma, who looked like a God of thunder at the moment, in a daze.
"...."
Silico, and most of the other deities did not comment and just sat there, blankly staring at the purple sky. For a moment, it seemed as If a purple sun was about to descend.
"Is this... still the "Skyfall Beheadment" Mother created?" Sara asked with a beautiful smile, as she also resigned to her own fate. Who knew, that her own teacher would be her killer. Isn\'t it kind of sexy?
"No." Sear instantly replied.
"No." Sion followed as well.
"But it does look like something much worse." Soquel honestly said her thoughts, unlike everyone, she was enthralled by the extent of Enigma\'s strength. \'Is he a Higher Deity or a Deity Lord? So young?\'
"Cries of the earth... Give me your strength and follow my Will... Descend and make waste of my enemies... Skyfall... Beheadment."
He calmly finished the incarnation as he slowly opened his eyes. But what met his eyes was the familiar chest of the women who claimed him as her god niece.
He dud not know that happened, or why he found himself within the embrace of the beautiful Nia, who seemed as if she was trying to suffocate him with her chest.
"Ni–a?"
"I met many people who are suicidal, but not a lot who are like you."
"...."
Not understanding what she was saying, he turned around to look at the front, and he saw... purple. An area of exactly one ten miles, was replace by a storm of countless strikes of purple lightning.
Looking around, he saw the other seven deities behind him, looking at the spectacle in wonder as well. Forget fear, the most important thing right now was that, their teacher, slash junior, was frightening.
Even Enigma did not have the time to complain about being suffocated by Nia. Her presence reminded him of Hestia, as they both were too touchy with him, yet had 0% interest in him as a guy.
They both probably saw a small boy in him. Anyway, Enigma couldn\'t help but asked the system inwardly, \'What scale is that level of attack?\'
"I really have to do a better job at restricting your Providence"
\'Answer the damn question, buddy.\' Enigma was not up to the system\'s tricks for now. He was leaning more on accepting that perhaps, he was the villain and the system was the hero.
"...It\'s a Pseudo-Law"
\'....\'
"All your elementary mysteries are probably Laws, darkness and light are probably R3 though. And Gravity, Time and Space is around R4... for now"
\'...That\'s still broken no matter how I see it.\' Enigma bitterly smiled as he wondered what else about himself, did he not know, except the parts that he knew off. And his past. And childhood.
"See how I feel everytime you do something?"
